The critics are
raving about In the
Continuum:|
"Two women. Two
stools. One powerful story. That's all it takes to keep audiences riveted to In the Continuum. Tony Sias's precise
direction weaves the two different worlds into a moving whole... The realistic,
unsentimental ending packs a wallop." - Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News
"Profoundly affecting... Although there is plenty of pain to go around in
these sadly linked stories, the script also has touches of humor. Director Tony
Sias and his two actors fashion memorable moments in this 85-minute
performance...leaves you wondering when we will ever stop punishing the
victims." - Christine Howey, Cleveland
Scene
"In the Continuum is an
excellent script that receives a stellar performance at Cleveland Public
Theatre. This is a play that says much about world conditions and the
international AIDS crisis, in a real and compelling way. It is a must
see!" - Roy Berko, The Times
The powerful In the
Continuum explores the devastating problem of AIDS among
African and African-American women -- a timely and often underexposed topic.
Living worlds apart in South Central, LA and Zimbabwe, two young women
experience a bizarre weekend of darkly comic, life altering revelations. With
two actors playing dozens of roles, In the Continuum promises to
engage audiences in its story of parallel denials and self-discoveries.

CPT is proud to present
the companion exhibition: "Giving Women Power over AIDS" in the CPT
Bookstore.
This special exhibit was created by The Global
Campaign for Microbicides, an international coalition working to accelerate
access to new HIV prevention options. Microbicides refers to a range of
products that share one common characteristic: the ability to prevent sexual
transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections when applied
topically. The exhibit features an adaptation of "In Her Mother's
Shoes" a photo essay that tells the story of Martha, one of 11 million
AIDS orphans in sub-Saharan Africa and also
provides an overview of microbicide research and development and the global
need for new prevention technologies.
The exhibit will be open 90 minutes before
curtain and 60 minutes after each performance of In the Continuum.
In the Continuum
April 12 - May 3
Gordon Square Theatre
In the Continuum is presented in part by The Richard J. Fasenmyer Foundation in
honor of the 25th Anniversary of the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland.
